Answer

[−3024]\begin{bmatrix} -3 & 0 \\ 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Identify the elements of the matrix.

    The given matrix is:

    A=[40−2−3]A = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 \\ -2 & -3 \end{bmatrix}

    Here, a=4a=4, b=0b=0, c=−2c=-2, and d=−3d=-3.

  2. Apply the formula for the adjoint of a 2×22 \times 2 matrix.

    For a 2×22 \times 2 matrix [abcd]\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}, the adjoint matrix is given by:

    Adj(A)=[d−b−ca]\text{Adj}(A) = \begin{bmatrix} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{bmatrix}
  3. Substitute the values from the given matrix into the adjoint formula.

    Adj(A)=[−3−(0)−(−2)4]\text{Adj}(A) = \begin{bmatrix} -3 & -(0) \\ -(-2) & 4 \end{bmatrix}
  4. Simplify the elements.

    Adj(A)=[−3024]\text{Adj}(A) = \begin{bmatrix} -3 & 0 \\ 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

    The adjoint of the matrix is [−3024]\begin{bmatrix} -3 & 0 \\ 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}.
